How as this post a troll? My statement was factual, helpful, based on first-hand experience, (I love that game) and in no way soliciting response. Looks like someone out there has mod points and a chip on their shoulder.
I was informed by the doctor that at best they would be able to effectively halve the strength of my eyeglass prescription. I would still be so nearsighted that I would not be able to drive legally (or safely for that matter) without prescription lenses, and while I would see measurably better, I would still not see enough better that it would bear any logistical improvement in my daily life. The television would still be a giant blur to me from the couch. Summary: NO THANKS. I will wait until they can fully replace my defective eyes.
Well, its really no more ridiculous than storing authentication on the client-side. You'd be shocked how often this basic foolishness flies with very large companies.
There actually IS a law, its called the "Fraudulent Online Identity Sanctions Act" and its an ammendment to some other law I forget the name of but I'm sure is as easy to google.
... Of course, those pale in comparison to the Yellowstone caldera.. if THAT one blows, at least the western part of the USA has a BIG problem....
I hate to have to mention this, but if Yellowstone goes, the western part of the USA will be someone ELSE's problem; at minimum, the entire rest of that hemisphere - this is assuming the whole planet doesn't just pop like a zit and crack in half at that point. Most models suggest this would be an extinction level event.
Which all makes perfect sense right up until you start making more than about 30$/hour and realize that the only resource more important than your health and your money is the time you spend enjoying yourself or learning new things while someone else is doing your chores for you. Also, you should probably seek better advice on restaurants... I used to think the nicest meal you could buy was from the Cheesecake Factory too.
I know you made this statement sarcastically but since you've referenced a very important and relevant point in history I'll mention for our younger readers that this is a popular paraphrase of a statement made by one Arnold Amaury during what has become now known broadly as "The Spanish Inquisition" when asked how he proposed they'd weed the heretics out of Béziers; his response was "Kill them all, God will know his own."
The chilling parallels between The Inquisition and the current comparatively passive-aggressive war on freedom of information ought not be trivialized by satire.
There is also an argument to be made that your statement represents a base misunderstanding or perhaps even willful ignorance of what a martyr actually is.
I guess that's a good point, it was a choice more based on preferences in available hardware, really. The best quality receivers have optical or both, whereas very good ones with coax only are rarer.
On the other hand, if you use one of Creative Labs' devices in Linux, the quality of their own software is irrelevant, and just on output gain and signal-to-noise ratios alone you can still beat the pants off most on-board audio solutions with a 10$ Live! card robbed out of an old Dell...
Do you mean to ask this question to make a point, or are you seriously asking? Because onboard graphics were already sufficient for everyday computing a few years *ago*...

Yes, he was kidding. The second sentence was intended to be obvious sarcasm.
On gun rights activists, obviously.

you can play grim fandango on wine...

... and then maybe hollowing out a stone and showing how cool streaming could have been in the Neolithic...
Sarcasm mode off
Wait, that was sarcasm? That was a great idea!
Admit being wrong? No thanks, I've been trying to cut back.

google the "Fraudulent Online Identity Sanctions Act", moron.

Federal crime, 7 years in jail yo.

while you're right that was a customer service agreement, a simple internet search will show you a ton of references to the text of the actual law.
https://www.govtrack.us/congre...
no that was icann's policy. here's the law. you want me to do any of your other homework for you?
come on don't be egomaniacal or lazy. you can google this yourself. its a law. https://www.govtrack.us/congre...
1) Uh. No, there is no such law.
2) If there was such a law, it would not require the email address listed to be read by a human being.
REFUTED on both counts.
There is no law. Stop saying things to sound smart.
REFUTED
Stop contradicting things I say just to try to astro-turf over your own misbehavior.
They're lucky it wasn't held hostage...
Lucky, indeed! Next expires 26-may-2020. Lets see how that works for them next time around.
I'm pretty sure also they're required by law to put ACCURATE contact info into the registry...

No, optical spdif to a dedicated receiver. The speakers on even $9000 displays are generally inferior to used 50$ studio monitoring speakers.

USB introduces (physically inescapable) delay of enough magnitude to make it unacceptable for any serious gaming.
